Healthcare services in refugee camps along the Thailand-Myanmar border run by the International Rescue Committee (IRC) were suspended on 27 January 2025, following an order from the new United States (US) President, Donald Trump. The IRC is the main healthcare provider in the refugee camps housing refugees from Myanmar in Thailand on the border with Myanmar. The IRC gets about half of its funding from the US government and part of its work is to help resettle refugees in the US.

    They want a pandemic. All of the things they have done so far regarding public health can only be explained that way as far as I can tell.

      Pandemics means market drops and supply chain interruptions, which destroys a bunch of value, which means the currently-wealthy can buy up the rest of the world at fire sale prices and price gouge for what’s left.

      Ten richest men in the world doubled their wealth to 1.5tn during covid. They want to repeat that. Millions dead is a minor side effect they don’t care about.

      I was saying that just this morning myself. He told the CDC that they are not allowed to have any contact with the WHO at all even while we’re still officially a part of it for the next year.

      That can only be a desire for another pandemic.
